'''Saint Columba or Saint Colm Cille''' (December 7, 521 - June 9, 597) sometimes known as ''St. Columba of Iona'' was born in County Donegal, Ireland. His name, in Old Irish, means "Dove of the church." He was born into royalty and could himself have possibly become a high king of Ireland. Instead, he chose to give up his royal privileges and become a servant of the King of kings, and a missionary to Scotland.<ref>{{Wikipedia Reference}}</ref> | '''Saint Columba or Saint Colm Cille''' (December 7, 521 - June 9, 597) sometimes known as ''St. Columba of Iona'' was born in County Donegal, Ireland.
